The Bureau of Parks & Gardens designs and constructs green spaces in Vekllei. It has a broad role in basically all public landscaping, and its influence extends far beyond urban parks. Through its departments it also facilitates public services like community agriculture, botanical gardens, zoos, parks, landscaping for public buildings like hospitals and schools and street gardens like flower baskets and urban trees.
Vekllei is known for its bright, clean garden cities, and the Bureau of Parks & Gardens has no small hand in this reputation. It has an important role in all public renovation, renewal and construction, and contributes a lot of the natural beauty that is well-regarded in Vekllei communities. Regular Vekllei urban motifs, like running water, moss and rock gardens, indigenous flora and natural murals are mostly inventions of the bureau, which has seen its work replicated internationally. It does not have much to do with conservation or ecological maintenance, which mostly falls to the Ministry of Landscape.
The bureau works at all scales, from large-scale landscaping projects to flower-arranging and the interior courtyards of municipal buildings. It is a popular alternative for conscripts undergoing compulsory service who wish to exclude themselves from military service.
